The Goodreads contest is over! I want to thank everyone for entering. In all, 435 people entered to win my cookbook, Compote Is My Jam, and 510 people entered to win my book of essays, I’Mmoral: Poems for Unrepentant Sinners and Free Thinkers.

Goodreads has selected the winners in both contests (again, to be clear, I have/had zero input in the selection of the winners), and I’m pleased to announce that Sharon in Kentucky has won the cookbook, and Shelby in Louisiana has won the book of essays...
